The past year has seen significant changes to the political and economic landscape in the Northwest. The coalition Government has announced its intention to replace Regional Development Agencies with a number of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs). In addition, the NWDA is facing a challenging reduction to its budget which is having a significant impact across the region.

This year's annual conference – the Agency's last – will highlight the progress made by the region last year, as well as provide an overview of how we are continuing to support economic recovery and deliver our £230 million programme of activity.
